C。词义推断题。根据 A 听到有人喊 “Look out.”，就把头伸出窗外，结果是一桶水泼 了下来， 由此推出泼水的人喊 “look out” 是在提醒别人当心一下， 他要泼水了， 因此 “look out” 是注意、当心的意思，所以此题答案为 C。 2. B。细节判断题。“all hands on deck” 是“全体船员到甲板上集合”的意思，B 却误解了这 句话的含义，把双手放在了甲板上。因为船员要到甲板上集合，就有人踩到了他的双手，由 此可知 “them”是 “my hands” 的意思，所以答案为 B。 3. D。词义推断题。根据 C 讲述的第 1 句中 “early” 的和仆人说的话 He’s not up yet. Come back in half an hour 可推出 He’s not up 是 He hasn’t got up 之意；根据 When I went again for him, she said, “He’s not down yet.” 可推知 He’s not down 是 He hasn’t come downstairs 之意。所以答案为 D。 4. C。语义理解题。通读全文可知，A、B、C 三人因为没有理解这些习语的真正含义，所 以他们对别人的做法和说的话感到迷惑不解。由此可知 How strange 作为这篇文章的标题 最合适，所以答案为 C。 5. D。 主旨题。 通读全文可知 “look out” “ all hands on deck” “ up” “down” 在特殊的语境里都 不再是字面的意思了， 由此可知作者是想告诉读者有些词或短语在不同的语境里有不同的含 义，所以答案为 D。 *********************************************************结束
